THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, DECEMBER - 17, f928 O KD B0Y HELD BO0N EONPANINS Speaker Urges Mothers Not to Object Too Much—Fa- i thers Asked Not to Shout. In view of the “utter futility” of the task, mothers were urged not to attempt to separate their young | sons from dirt by H. W. Gibson of | Boston, Mass., in an address Saturday | night at the annual Father and Son banquet of the Young Men's Christian | \Assacxatmn. | Mr. Gibson, who has devoted most 8 his life to the study of boys | problems, has been making a tour of | the country delivering inspirational talks before gatherings of boys. His address last night climaxed his trip. Two of the greatest factors in the development of a normal hoy are a wise and tolerant mother and a father with a sense of humor, Mr. Gibson said. Attempt Held Harmful. “Boys and dirt have a natural affin- ity for each other.” he declared. “It is impossible to separate them, and even 10 attempt to do so works harm to the boy. The healthiest and happiest boy is the one who does not have to be for- ever on guard against tracking dirt into the house or leaving his bedroom in disorder. The wise mother will give him a little leeway and then find a tactful way to persuade him to do his own cleaning.” The speaker also had little com- mendation for the father who “shouts his head off” at a base ball game in the afternoon and then comes home in the evening prepared to discipline his boy when the latter makes any unnecessary noise. Fatherhood Held Vocation. “In my opihion,” he said, “the father who devotes all of his time to his work and none to his boy is a poor father. I believe that fatherhod should be a man’s vocation and work his avoca- tion, for, after all, his only reason for working is that he may be able to do better things for his boy and the rest of his family. “As long as the father and son can stay close to each other and under- stand each other the future of our community is safe. When they drift apart it is imperiled, for the "future of any people depends upon the char- acter of its youth.” ‘The program opened with “dad and lad” songs by the 150 fathers and sons present. Individual selections were given by Edwin C. Steffe, accompanied by R. B. Morgan and the Western High School Quartet. After the dinner, which was served by ‘mothers and sisters of the boys, the youngsters adjourned to the boys’ de- partment for an hour of games and swimming. Ambassador Moore Recovers.
